﻿36 SEEDS AND PLANTS IMPORTED. 



" I do not know the name of the variety of this rice, as they do not pay much 

 attention to varietal names here. However, this past year was very hard for 

 upland rice, as we had a protracted drought of six weeks, but this rice made a 

 crop. Another variety grown in the same field failed to make a crop. r ' 

 (Hunnicut.) 



41064 to 41087. Triticum spp. Poacese. Wheat. 



From Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Presented by Mr. George 



Valder, undersecretary and director, Department of Agriculture. Received 



August 26, 1915. 



" The department's plant breeder states that the following varieties are winter 



wheats here, but if sown at the same season as such sorts in America they would 



probably be winterkilled. It is suggested that they be sown as spring wheat, 



with the exception of Marster's Perfection [S. P. I. No. 41072], which should 



stand the frosts of winter. It may be mentioned that samples of the ordinary 



varieties recommended to farmers in this country have invariably been sent 



abroad, and almost without exception have proved unsuitable for American and 



European conditions ; it has been found that they either become eaten up with 



spring rust or do not survive the winters." (Valder.)
